[Catherine Rudin]

Sorry to hear this, Mary.  See you next time.

              Hello all
    
    With great regret I have to tell you that I will not be able to   
attend this year's Conference; my paper should be withdrawn from the   
program.  I am really sorry about this, I look forward to this event   
every year.   The problem is the flooding, and the fact that I would   
have to drive to Iowa City immediately after the last papers on   
Saturday, for a family visit.  The latter is urgent, and must take   
precedence.  So:  I hope to see you all next year.
    
    Best
    Mary Marino

      Saul asked me to pass this information on to you.)
      
      Greetings to all,
      
      We are writing to inform conference attendees about how     
anticipated      flooding along the Missouri River will affect lodging
arrangements      for      the Siouan conference later this month. After
consultation with      tribal      chairman Tim Rhodd and the manager of
the Eagle’s Nest motel, we      are      recommending that all
conference attendees who have reserved rooms      at      the Eagle’s
Nest motel cancel these reservations immediately and      make     
reservations in Hiawatha, KS, or Falls City, NE, at the motels     
listed      below. The reason for this is the imminent flooding, which
will      make      roads impassable, requiring extensive detours to get
from the      Eagle’s      Nest motel on the east side of the river to
the conference      location at      the tribal complex on the west side
of the river.
      
      We apologize for this inconvenience and extra expense to     
conference      attendees. While there was minor flooding in the area
last year,      we had      no way of anticipating this year’s expected
extensive flooding      caused      by the Corps of Engineers releasing
water from upstream. We were      pleased that the tribe was able to
offer such discounted      conference      rates at the Eagle’s Nest
motel, and we were looking forward to      conference business
supporting this tribal enterprise. We are      sorry to      report that
the motels in Hiawatha, KS, and Falls City, NE, are      not      able
to match the conference rate at the tribe’s Eagle’s Nest      motel.    
 Nevertheless, the rates at these motels seem reasonable and should     
provide good accommodations for conference attendees. Both      Hiawatha
and      Falls City are approximately 20 miles from the conference     
location.
      
      Please note that those with reservations at the casino cabins do  
   NOT      need to cancel their reservations, since the casino cabins
are      just a      mile south of the tribal complex. However, all
attendees should      plan      their travel routes to avoid highways
running through river      lowlands,      including but not limited to
159 from MO to NE and 7 from NE to      KS.
